It's getting to be that time again for North Americans to partake in the monthly Splatfest for Splatoon. After last month's decidedly more festive approach to things, we're getting yet another topic that few likely saw coming.
The Splatfest's theme will be about whether you'd rather time travel to the past or the future. Though the theme doesn't specify exactly how far into the past or future one could go, the promotional image depicts dinosaurs and spaceships, so many will likely base their votes off of this. The start and end times of the Splatfest haven't been revealed yet, but it'll likely be kicking off next Friday in the evening if past Splatfests are anything to go by. Here's the tweet:

To the future, obviously.
@Octoling Nah, dinosaurs for me!
I don't know go back in time and play games I missed. Or go to the future and play upcoming games.
Hmmm, go far enough into the future to pick up a copy of FFXV and maybe a complete edition of the FFVII-remake. Or go back to the past with the winning PowerBall numbers.
That a tough one.
Ug I like both!! I almost see it as Jurassic World Vs. Star Wars The Force Awakens. I loved Jurassic World, but notjong beats Star Wars... my wife seems to be going with the dinos. I may go with spaceships.
The future has got to be better than being a snack for dinosaurs, especially if Marie will be there.
Future so I can prove Zelda U is a Wii U exclusive.
Future. So I can steal a time machine and go back into the past.
Hm... tough call. Probably future for me, I guess. Seems like I'm ALWAYS on Marie's team. Coincidentally, she's my favorite Squid Sister.
Hmm, that's a tough one. I'll probably go with the Future.
I would love to see the future, but I'll enjoy ruling the past with my present (future) knowledge even more. Just have to be very cautious around certain groups in the past.
I just got Splatoon for Christmas, and it's awesome, but what are Splatfests all about? I've heard of them but don't know how they work.
@MetaSmasher: They are an event for a specific region (North america for this one) where you only participate in turf wars with other Inklings who choose the same side as you. After 24 hours, the team with the most wins will win the Splatfest, and you earn Sea Snails which can upgrade and reroll your gear's abilities

I'm gonna have to agree with Patchy the Pirate on this one. The future is so cliche.
Apparently there is something wrong with Dinosaurs in Spaceships?
The future would be sick, but I've always felt I was born in the wrong era. Past for me.
I'd choose past just so I can see my past self.
I'd love to go to the past and witness certain events, but I'm black and would probably end up in a rough time period , Future for me I'll take my chances there
To the past obviously. 1. Because dinos are just cool when they're not chewing on your head right now. and 2. If I travelled to the future, I potentially learned about how I died at what age and such and knowing that you will die with a certain age and from a certain thing, it just makes life uncomfortable. Plus, then I could try and stop that sorta thing from happening and who knows what comes from that. That wouldn't be the case in the past because then I haven't been born yet.
Oh well, I'm european so gotta wait for what kind of theme NOE is thinking of this time.
Back to the Future for me. Going to the past complicates things. I've seen too many movies where someone travels back to change something, but make more problems for themselves.
I GOT A JAPANESE SPLATOON ARTBOOK FOR MY BIRTHDAY! 😀 yay!
what if time travel gets invented? it ain't happening in the past lol that's for sure
future for me... i know how the past turns out
If it's the same in Europe,i wish i could choose both.Guess i'll settle for spaceships.
@GoldenGamer88 If you traveled to the future (assuming it was one way) then there wouldn't be any records of your death. Just your disappearance.
Personally I'd be more interested in going to the future.
Star wars x Jurassic World again!
Star wars x Jurassic World again!
Star wars x Jurassic World again!
Star wars x Jurassic World again!
Future. I get to see some dinosaurs Judassic Park style and finally play GameCube titles on the Super NX + Virtual Console. AND I get to do so while playing Zelda U and Mario Kart 9.
I think most people would want to go back to the past to change a mistake they made at some point in their life. Of course that would lead to split timelines and butterfly effects but we're all selfish people
Looks like I'm going BACK TO THE FUTURE!
First tough choice for me, though I'm leaning towards future, but IRL it's a question I'd want to sleep on for awhile.
To the future! Fun fact: My little boy was born on "Back to the Future" Day (10/21/15)!
@thehoppypoppy That is so awesome m8, hopefully your little boy learns then that there is only one true doctor, and his name is Emmett Lathrop Brown.
The question for this splatfest really should have been 'awesome car' or 'phone booth'... Why are there two phone booths connected to time travel on only one car?! (Bill & Ted had a phonebooth too)
Wow, yet another splatfest I can't participate in. Too bad it wasn't today. Oh well, I hope everyone else has a blast and go dinosaurs.
The future. Definitely. Every time I go to the past I screw something up.
Dinosaurs. Only dinosaurs matter to me!
The future. Going into the past can be dangerous. Remember what nearly happened to Marty McFly and what DID happen to Princess Nadia "Marle" Guardia?
I'll see the future when it gets here, I choose Dinosaurs!
Currently in the middle of reading The Lost World by Michael Crichton by the way.
